Ten Days of Thanksgiving: Day 6

Today I am thankful for Blogger Meet-ups!

In August, 3 of my favorite ladies all came to Minneapolis for a blogger meet-up! Truth be told, I was going through a bit of a rough patch.. That's probably an understatement. It was as if a rain cloud had parked itself over my head. I was down about dating. I was down about the value of my condo. I was down about living in Minneapolis.

Then these ladies came and I was essentially forced to see the good in my life.

I saw my condo through the eyes of visitors and was reminded that it's not so bad and is actually sort of charming.

I saw my cities through the eyes of visitors and was reminded that there are fun and interesting things to do - you just have to seek them out!

Their visit couldn't have come at a better time. They really helped me get back on track, and for that I am so thankful!

Then in October, I flew to Vancouver and met up with Amber for our Marathon road trip!

She played tour guide and showed me around Vancouver and then we embarked on a fabulous road trip - destination Portland, where we met up with Lauren!

It's been wonderful to meet these ladies in real life! It's pretty amazing how they are all exactly like they come across in their blogs - fun, fabulous, genuine women.

If all goes as planned, I'll be meeting up with some new bloggers (and hopefully reuniting with some) in April in DC! Stay tuned for more info on that!

Yall are so cute with your race numbers...I have a confession. The other day I was walking at the park and I had this erge to want to jog with everyone else around me. I know! I.never thought that would happen either.

I have met up with online people and they have become some of my best friends. I flew to the other side of the world to meet them and I am so glad I did ... it's a great experience and I recommend it to everyone ... What a lovely post :-)

Ahhh! This made me happy. I miss our trip so much on a regular basis. I'm thankful for YOU every single day. And then of course for the blogging community and all the best friends I've made because of it. There's a lot of them :)

I love this post, I'm thankful for having the amazing opportunity to meet you, Kyla, and Nora too. That trip was one of the highlights of my summer. So many awesome memories and you all are among my very best friends. So thankful for your friendship!
